A 32-year-old woman has been brought before the Enugu North Magisterial District Court for giving a false testimony in a Lagos church, according to the Enugu police.
In a statement on Tuesday, the command’s spokesperson, SP Daniel Ndukwe, said the suspect, Loveth Alo, was arrested on February 1.
During interrogation, the suspect admitted to the crime and claimed she acted alone, according to the police.
“She was arraigned on a five-count charge, including obtaining by false pretence with intent to defraud, defamation of character, and attempting to commit felony,” Ndukwe said.
He explained that detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department’s Legal Section were involved after a petition was filed against her.
The petition alleged that she falsely claimed ownership of a five-bedroom duplex at WTC Estate, Enugu.
“She allegedly presented the property as hers during a testimony at Zion Prayer Ministry Movement Outreach in Lagos.
“In a viral video, she testified that God had blessed her with the acquisition of the house.
“Footage of the building was displayed in the church as she spoke.
“In another viral video, she allegedly claimed to have purchased the house for N200 million,” Ndukwe added.
The suspect was granted bail, and the case was adjourned to April 9, 2025, for further hearing.
